Sapporo Station

Sapporo Station is the gateway to Sapporo City. The station is home to the JR Stellar Place skyscraper, Daimaru department store and many more shopping options. Close to the station are hotels, and the main bus terminal making it a convenient and efficient place to connect with other parts of Hokkaido. A short 5 minute walk from the north exit of the station will take you to Hokkaido University and a park popular for the fall foliage. It is only 10 minutes from the south exit to Sapporo`s commercial center, Odori. Along the way are popular photo spots in the park and in front of the famous clock tower. In 2011, an underground walkway was completed to shelter you from the weather and connect many of the shops and businesses in downtown. Events are held here and is a great way to get around the city during inclement weather.
